Rep. Darrell Issa, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, sent a subpoena Wednesday to Attorney General Eric Holder as part of his investigation into the gun trafficking operation known as "Fast and Furious."

"Top Justice Department officials, including Attorney General Holder, know more about Operation Fast and Furious than they have publicly acknowledged," the California Republican said in a statement. "The documents this subpoena demands will provide answers to questions that Justice officials have tried to avoid since this investigation began eight months ago. It's time we know the whole truth."

The subpoena seeks, among other things, all communications regarding the operation from 16 top Justice officials, including Holder, his chief of staff, Gary Grindler, and the head of the department's criminal division, Lanny Breuer,  as well as correspondence on specific dates to and from the former head of the ATF's Phoenix field division, William Newell.

The Nixon administration tried and failed to with hold stuff about Watergate, (I'm pretty sure that's what his AG Mitchell, went to jail for.
The Reagan administration tried and failed with Iran Contra.
But they were Republicans, the standards are different for Democrats.

With Watergate and Iran Contra the Media was also investigating and keeping the 'people' stirred up so the push was much larger.

With F&F the MSM is largely ignoring and downplaying.

The media has  been in the liberal tank since at least that Stalinist stooge Walter Durante of the NYT managed to miss the Ukrainian famine in the 1920's.
Then there was that communist sympathizer Walter Winchell.
Different standard for socialist/ dems.

Cronkite!

LBJ recognized the propaganda value the communists derived from the media.
"If I've lost Cronkite, I've lost America" (LBJ )
"I thought we were winning this thing" (WC)
"I shall not seek, nor will I accept, my parties nomination...."(LBJ)
